Philip Webb often drew inspiration from landscapes and historic buildings, and decided to preserve and incorporate some of the medieval farm buildings on the site into his design. Despite these historic influences, Standen was built as a thoroughly modern home, complete with central heating and electricity.

The Beales were one of a number of prominent non-conformist families from Birmingham, who had prospered during the city’s manufacturing boom, and dominated the social and business life of the city.
